    Which I/O addressing concept allows devices to appear in the CPU’s physical address space?

    ক)
    Memory-mapped I/O (MMIO)
    খ)
    Port-mapped only (PMIO)
    গ)
    Bit-banging only
    ঘ)
    DMA exclusively

    Explanation

    MMIO assigns device registers into addressable memory ranges so normal loads/stores access hardware. Many ISAs support both MMIO and PMIO. DMA transfers bulk data but still relies on programmed registers. MMIO simplifies addressing at the cost of cache hazards.
